Table name variable failes in OLE DB connection

I'm getting odd behavior from an OLE DB Destination. I need to make the destination dynamic so I chose "Table name or view name variable" as the data access mode. When I put in what I know is a valid table name as the default value of the variable
and click view existing data, I get the following,
File not found (it's a DB2 db that calls tables files).
The curious thing is when I choose SQL command and put in a query using the EXACT same table and click view existing data, it works. What am I missing here?

Hi falcon00,
I am unable to reproduce the error message, however, you can follow the steps below to create the variable properly:
Remove the existing related variable(s).
Add a new Package scope variable named PRMSDestinationTable, set its data type to String, its value to TableName (without database schema).
Press F4 to highlight the variable properties pane, set its EvaluateAsExpression property to True, and set its expression to @[User:: PRMSDestinationTable]. Evaluate the expression to make sure the result is correct.

Failed to update table name (location): Failed to open connection.

Folks,
ENV : SQL Server 2005, CR 2008 SP3, Windows Server 2003
All the reports are working fine except for 4 of them. All of them demonstrate the same symptoms.
Failed to print/preview report with the error 'A Crystal Reports job failed: Failed to update table name (location): Failed to open connection. Failed to open connection. COA.rpt
All the reports use OLE DB connection. I have verified the the DB Connection Information. It's the same across all the rpt files.
Please help.
Regards,
Balaji K

Hi,
Additional Info:
CR 2008 SP3 is called by an application using .net. The Application passes a couple of parameters to the CR report. I'm able to preview the report. All the reports use the same set of parameters.

Bug in PL/SQL - Does not update Table if table name & variable name same in

Dear All,
If tabale name & vairable name is same in a Stored Procedure, UPDATE to table does not take place.
For example run following 2 procedures. First procedure does the insert properly to table but second procedure does not update the table.
create or replace procedure BugDemo1
as
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(30);
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(30);
Begin
LAST_NAME := 'Prasad';
FIRST_NAME := 'Raghnandan';
Insert into com_people (id,Roles, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME) values (77777,'Patient', LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME);
end;
create or replace procedure BugDemo2
as
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(30);
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(30);
Begin
LAST_NAME := 'Pra';
FIRST_NAME := 'Raghu';
Update com_people set
LAST_NAME = LAST_NAME,
FIRST_NAME = FIRST_NAME
where id = 77777 ;
end;
------------------------------------------

Hi,
It is not a bug. Oracle is updating the records. Here Oracle is treating the variable name as COLUMN_NAME. Since priority is higher for a COLUMN on variable so each column is getting updated by itself resulting no change in data.

No table names appear (only Stored Procs) when connected to SQLServer w/dbo

Greetings,
I'm using Crystal Reports 11, connecting to a databse on SQL Server 2005.
I am on Windows 7. I also have the problem on Windows Server 2003
Starting from a blank database, I create my connection through ODBC, and when I expand my database, all I get is a list of stored procedures, no tables.
I have isolated this to whether I have dbo authority on this particular database or not.
i.e. I have a user with dbo authority, and they see nothing but stored procedure names, I take dbo authority away, and they see tables, views, stored procs, all as would be expected.
I have several other SQL Server databases that do not share this issue. Users with dbo authority can see tables as expected.
I have compared the settings on the databases, and nothing appears to be different (the database with the issue is considerably larger, but I can't see where that would be an issue)
I will probably also open this issue with Microsoft, to see what they say from their end
If anyone has seen this before, or would have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Seems very strange that giving MORE authority would be affecting what the user can see.

Don

Building a data flow task, within a foreach loop for dynamic table name, but ole db source not allowing variable

In my control flow, I set up a variable for the table name, enumerated by SMO, following the instructions from the link here:
http://www.bidn.com/blogs/mikedavis/ssis/156/using-a-for-each-loop-on-tables-ssis
Now, I put a data flow task inside the foreach. I selected the OLE DB connection manger for my database, set the Data access mode to "Table name or view name variable", and selected my variable name from the drop down. So far so good. When I click on OK,
it gives me an error 0x80040E37, basically saying it can't open the rowset for "my variable", Check that the object exists in the database.
So, I assume I won't be able to do this "that' easily, and I will need to build a "SQL command from variable" or some such thing. Any advice on how to build this Source editor to dynamically name my columns from the variable?
Thanks in advance!

"Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

Post Author: Gadow
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
System specifics:
Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
        Dim ReportURL As String = ""
        'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
        If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
        End If
        ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
        'Verify that the report exists
        ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
        ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
        If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)

                        'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)

            Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo

            T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
        Next
        DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
    End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Get error from SQL AGENT: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024

I am running SQL Agent that executes an SSIS process from sql server1. The SSIS process executes its SQL/tables/sp’s against another sql server2.
I get an error after adding data flow tasks with transaction supported within a sequence with transaction required. The error, “The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024 "The transaction
manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions"
Prior to adding this sequence everything was working from sql agent, and there were other sequences with oledb destinations.
Everything works when running within SSIS Package.
I see this article on similar issue,
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0bfa2569-8849-4884-8f68-8edf98a9b4fe/problem-to-execute-a-package-and-tasks-with-a-certain-transactionoption-property-i-need-help?forum=sqlintegrationservices
“I had similar issue and solved by setting the following on both the machines. Allow Remote Clients, Allow Remote Administration,
Allow Inbound Clients, Allow Outbound Clients, and TIP are enabled in Component Services/My Computer/Properties/MSDTC/Security Configuration.”
I don’t want to remove transaction required for the “Remove Duplicates from Staging” sequence.
Anyone seen this?

DTC was running on remote computer. The problem was it was no longer accepting transactions from remote servers. This was in SSIS so I had to turn to "Transaction Supported" for all Data Flow Transactions.

Failed to open the connection error using Business View OLE DB

I have a Crystal Report built on a Business View with the db being accessed by an OLE driver. Everything works fine using Crystal Designer, but when I try to access it through BOE I get the "Failed to open the connection" error. I have the ole drivers installed on the server.
We are on BOE 12.1.0.
The db is IBM as400.
Suggestions??

Ok so I spent the day trying to find the differences between the working and the non-working application. I began by adding code one piece at a time to the working application. The goal was to try and get it to break on the deployment server. I found the lines of code that is causing the break on the deployment server. Here it is:
    private void setReportParameters()
        try
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(0, reportUserName.Value);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(1, reportArea.Value);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(2, reportCDR.SelectedValue);
            crystalReportDocument.SetParameterValue(3, reportStatus.Value);
        catch (Exception ex)
            throw ex;
This sub-routine is called from my button click code and is used to set the parameters for the report. Once I added this to the working application it broke also. My goal here is to send the parameters to the report from a form the user is filling out. Please keep in mind this code works in Visual Studio 2005 and my local IIS server running on my development machine. It breaks on the target deployment server
The code broke on reports with sub-reports as well as report with no sub-reports. As soon as it was added and deployed the application through the "Failed to open the connection" error.
Thoughts?

How to use bind variable value for table name in select statement.

Hi everyone,
I am having tough time to use value of bind variable for table name in select statement. I tried &p37_table_name. ,
:p37_table_name or v('p37_table_name) but none worked.
Following is the sql for interactive report:
select * from v('p37_table_name') where key_loc = :P37_KEY_LOC and
to_char(inspection_dte,'mm/dd/yyyy') = :P37_INSP_DT AND :p37_column_name is not null ;
I am setting value of p37_table_name in previous page which is atm_state_day_insp.
Following is error msg:
"Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended) "
Any help would be higly appreciated.
Raj

Interestingly enough I always had the same impression that you had to use a function to do this but found out from someone else that all you need to do is change the radio button from Use Query-Specific Column Names and Validate Query to Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only). Apex will substitute your bind variable for you at run-time (something you can't normally do in pl/sql without using dynamic sql)

How to use a table name in the select statement using a variable?

Hi Everybody,
I got a internal table which has a field or a variable that gets me some tables names. Now I need to retrieve the data from all these tables in that field dynamically at runtime. So could you suggest me a way out to use the select query which uses this variable as a table ?
Regards,
Mallik.

Hi all,
Actually i need some more clarification. How to use the same select statement, if i've to use the tabname in the where clause too?
for ex : select * from (tab_name) where....?
Can we do inner join on such select statements? If so how?
Thanks & Regards,
Mallik.

CAN I PASS A TABLE NAME AS A VARIABLE IN THE FROM CLAUSE?

For some reason, I am trying to use a variable name containing the actual table name in the from clause and it won't allow me. I keep getting the error saying I need to declare the variable I'm using eventhough I've used it in another statement that is not the FROM clause.
Example
SELECT count(col1), sum(col2)
FROM v_table_name;
v_table_name was declared as:
v_tablename VARCHAR2(20);
v_tablename := real_table_name;
Is it not allowed to use variables in the FROM clause or am I missing something here?

You can use the Forms "From Clause Query" as the datasource for the data block. Then you can change the QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME using set_block_property, so you can use any SQL statement you like. Of course you must name/alias the columns in a consistent manner so that the number of database items on the block matches those being queried.

MySQL - In a Query, Using a Variable as a Table Name

Hello,
The code I have attached works. However, I would like to
replace the table name "tractors" with the variable "$result". How
do I do this? (It doesn't work if I just type "$result" where
"tractors" is.)
Thanks,
John

You can't. In the code you have given $result is a MySQL
database result
resource. You need to extract the actual value from the
result resource
in the same way as you have done by using
mysql_fetch_array().

If you are going to have a table name or a column name as a parameter, then you have to open the cursor dynamically. The following example uses Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) to open a ref cursor dynamically. I also eliminated the group by clause, since it is intended for use with aggregate functions and you weren't using an aggregate function. Also notice that there are some other differences in terms of defining variables and fetching and so forth.
